Hellebore cup

As i have said in earlier posts, I’m reading the book 'silver fin'. This is a great book im enjoying it very much. In this post and later ones i shall describe the jist of what is going on in the story. So to begin, James bond has started off by going to school at Eton he's doing well and meeting new friends but he is also being bullied by an American kid and his buddies. Later on he enters the Hellebore cup, which consists of shooting swimming and cross country running. James does not win the shooting or the swimming but he wins the running and stops George (the American) from winning. That is about how far i have gotten. Thank you.
